Time changes, things change, people change
As we all head off in our different directions,
I lay at your feet
My one, final, and only request…
Forget me not.
Forget me not as you go along your way
As the places change and the strange faces become familiar.
As the things we once did become history
And the life we once lived become a memory.
Please forget me not.
Forget me not as you go along your way
As the pressures of life begin to weigh heavy on your shoulders
And the things that brought you joy are far
And the time you have is well spent on surviving
Please forget me not
Forget me not as you go along your way
And the distance shreds my heart, tearing us apart.
Your face remains etched in my brain
As though the first thing I saw this morning
Please forget me not
Forget me not as you go along your way
And the healer called time cannot seem to mend my broken heart
As you hold me in your arms all night
Waking up to the bitter reality of your absence
Please forget me not.
Don’t forget the time we spent
The laughs we had
The love we shared.
I know I can’t compare
To what she is to you
But if what we had was ever true
Please forget me not… I beg of you.
I completely agree with your poem. Is anything ever means anything, bad or good, you don’t forget it at all.
The temporal beat and how pictures flicker and flow in your poem is beautiful, pictures of emotions and growing.
